What is Penetration Testing?
What’s the best way to test your network security? To attack it using the same tools and techniques a hacker does.
Penetration Testing (Pen Testing) is the systematic process of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in your applications, networks, mobile devices and wireless networks. The goal is to identify and fix these issues before they are exploited by a hostile third party.
Penetration Testing services from Wavenet will evaluate each of these vulnerabilities to see whether exploitation is possible and how much of an impact there is to the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) of your data. Using a mixture of automated and manual technologies, each Pen Test identifies and exploits issues which could compromise network assets. You will then have a complete understanding of network weaknesses – and a prioritised action list for dealing with them.
Wavenet consultants mimic the techniques currently used by cyberattackers to establish an accurate representation of your security posture. Unlike criminals however, we do this without causing damage and with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations.
For any business conducting their first security assessment, we suggest starting with network and applications – the most common attack points. Alternatively, a red team engagement test will help you assess preparedness for dealing with a sophisticated advanced persistent threat (APT) attack.
You can also assess employee readiness for dealing with social engineering attacks. Our highly realistic phishing campaigns look and feel like a real attack – perfect for understanding what workers would do in a similar situation.
